The point the original article is making is there was only 25-30 pilots and they said it would be impossible to have missed him in a group that small. The only reason this issue has been persisting is Bush has been refusing to release his records.
If they find people who back him up then that can only be good for Bush, I don't see why you would complain about that. If they find he's been lying again then this time it will probably be exposed.
This is the full article which was linked in my original link:
Though some accounts reckon the total personnel component of the 187th as consisting of several hundred, the actual flying squadron – that to which Bush was reassigned – numbered only “25 to 30 pilots,†Mintz said. “There’s no doubt. I would have heard of him, seen him, whatever.†Even if Bush, who was trained on a slightly different aircraft than the F4 Phantom jets flown by the squadron, opted not to fly with the unit, he would have had to encounter the rest of the flying personnel at some point, in non-flying formations or drills. “And if he did any flying at all, on whatever kind of craft, that would have involved a great number of supportive personnel. It takes a lot of people to get a plane into the air. But nobody I can think of remembers him. “I talked to one of my buddies the other day and asked if he could remember Bush at drill at any time, and he said, ‘Naw, ol’ George wasn’t there. And he wasn’t at the Pit, either.’â€
